Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

While students mostly agree that living in the dorms isn’t a luxury, they do say that spending at least your freshman year there is a good experience. Students with experience in the dorms claim that the Quad and the brand-new Village are the best choices, while the Hill and the Extension are not up to par.

The Quad, Hill, and the Village are mostly coed but have a few all-girl buildings. The Village is brand new apartment-style dorms and is located right on campus near the football stadium and Coliseum. If you chose to live in the dorms, make sure to apply early to ensure a spot. Dorms tend to fill up very quickly, and off-campus housing is not always a guarantee. The fight for housing in Auburn can get pretty intense.

Residence Life

All the dorms are great, the quad is by far the best though. They're older, however they are right in the middle of campus. It's a 5 minute or less walk to any class, or downtown. If I could live there again I would! There are two rooms connected by a bathroom so there aren't any communal bathrooms. I'm living in the village sorority dorms now and it's the equivalent of an apartment. The village is perfect for sophomores and up since you can still walk to class (though about 15 minute walk now) and you can use the security shuttle system.

Auburn University Housing

Auburn has 3 housing options: the Village, the Quad, and the Hill. The Village has super nice amenities and they're brand new. The atmosphere is also more private if that's what you're looking for, however, they are the most expensive dorms and are farthest away from the main part of campus. Next is the Quad housing, which in my opinion is the best. The Quad dorms are not as nice as the ones in the Village, but they're nicer than the Hill. They're also less expensive than the Village, but more expensive than the Hill. The major thing that the Quad has going for it is that you're right in the middle of campus. Finally, there is the Hill. These dorms are the worst. They're reasonably far from the middle of campus (not as far as the Village) and they're old and a bit worn down. On the plus side, they're also the cheapest option.

The Village Is the Best

The dorms in the Hill are the oldest and the ones in the Quad aren't much better. The Village halls are only a few years older and have an apartment style to them which is nice.
